I'm wanting to know if the GT6 & Spit gearbox are
interchangeable?  Is it just a matter of swapping the
bell housing?  I have a GT6 gearbox that someone wants
for their Herald.

Basically, no. It can be done, but not without a good bit more parts swapping. 
Big problem is the input shaft, which is larger for the GT6 than the 
Herald/Spitfire.
Also, the GT6 ratios wouldn't be all that suitable for a (near) stock Herald.

Herald engine with  wings.
